Marcelo Cantos has already given you the answer. For more detailed information, you should look at how FILE structure is effectively hidden in most of the uderlying libraries.

You would have noticed that the FILE structure in itself is never available to the user, only the interfaces and an Opaque FILE * is available to us.
